The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) has decried the erosion of traditional value system among the youths in the country.

Pastor Samuel Sanusi, General Secretary/ CEO of BSN made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.

NAN reports that Sanusi also reacted to a news report which said that a good number of youths in the Eastern part of the country have abandoned Christianity to embrace the religion of their ancestors.

Sanusi said that arguably the situation of the country calls for concern but added that the only solution to the challenges facing the country was through embracing and worshipping the true God.

“Our value system has been eroded over the years that we find it very difficult to differentiate between a believer and a non believer,” Sanusi said.

He said that most people have lost their conscience.

He noted that alot of evil is being perpetuated on the alter that was becoming scandalous to the younger generation.

He said, however, that before the coming of Christianity, traditional African culture had values that depicted respect for human life and how to live the good life

According to him, cultivating the practice of daily reading of the scriptures and living by the Word of God is needed now than ever before.

” It is time to go back to God.

“If we really want solution in our world, we need to go back to what we have been neglecting, that is the Word of God.

“The solution is in God,” Sanusi said.

The CEO said that unfortunately our films project riches gotten through rituals and occult means which live lasting impression on the younger generation

He said that there traditional values were taught in the villages about the evil of stealing and the sacredness of life
which many seem to forget in a hurry.

He said we must go back to God for the solution to our challenges as individuals and as a nation.

Our youths are making mistakes by not acknowledging the one true God and creator of the universe.
